extensions: allow extending command synopsis and docstring Mercurial uses a synopsis string and the docstring of a command for the command's help output. Today there is no way for an extension that adds functionality to a command to extend either of these help strings. This patch enables appending to both the doctring and the synopsis, and adds a test for this functionality. Example usage is shown in the test and is also described in the docstring of extensions.wrapcommand().

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
